Can anyone tell me if credits from a community college will transfer to Youngstown State University? I'm trying to plan my courses accordingly.
Credit transferability can often come down to individual agreements between institutions, as well as the specific courses in question. While many community colleges have articulation agreements with four-year universities to ensure that credits do transfer, you must verify this with the specific institutions involved.
In your case, I recommend reaching out to Youngstown State University's admissions or registrar's office to inquire directly. They should be able to provide you with a list of community colleges they have agreements with, or discuss the course equivalency process with you. You can also check with the academic advisor at your community college, who should have a wealth of information on this topic.
Moreover, Youngstown State University might have an online transfer credit equivalency guide on its website, where you can look up how credits from other institutions typically transfer.
Keep in mind that successfully transferring credits also depends on the grades you received in your coursework, as many universities typically require a C or higher for transfer credit.
In any case, ensuring in advance that you're choosing classes that will likely transfer can save you a good deal of time and money, so it's a smart move if you're investigating this now.
